Took the kayak out Saturday a.m. to some oyster bars in search of reds. Paddling to my spot, I didn't encounter any mullet or reds, which made me kind of nervous that the fish weren't there. About 100 yards away from my destination, I saw birds diving all around the bars. Upon arrival I looked around, and it was nothing but redfish backs and tails everywhere. Third cast of the spoon fly produced the first fish of the morning. Most were in the 25" - 27" range, and fat. Caught 5 fish right off the bat, and then they shut down. Managed one more short (the only short fish of the day), and then it was nothing until I was paddling in and got one on the spinning rod. The fish were still around, but were not showing themselves like they were when I first got there. There was only about a foot of water (the north wind kept the tide out all day), and I frequently ran over them while paddling from bar to bar. I tried poling the kayak while trying to get shots off, with limited success. Got to work on that part. All in all a great day. CED was there to in his kayak. I'll leave it to him tell his part of the story if he so desires.......

Can't wait to see the photo's. Great report.

Murphy's Law.

Thats my story...

Great trip, Supa.

Solid trip Supa. I've got to find some of these tailing and snaking fish you guys keep running into.

Nice trip

As per usual, no camera was present. I thought about it while I was sitting there watching all the fish roll and tail amongst the diving birds and fleeing baitfish. I've got to start making more of an effort to bring a camera.

Nole - the only places and times I ever see them act this way on a consistent basis are on winter low tides, in the mud, around oyster bars, just as the tide turns and starts coming in. I haven't seen them do this around Lanark or the islands.

I love to see those tails.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
